That call they made on Calvin Johnson in Chicago any body can do better than.
I wish the young lady the best step in and do well it well be better than they are doing now.

The call was to the letter of the rule…which has not changed. The correct call was made. Whether you like the rule or not is a different story.

Sun, 22 Jul 2012 22:54:59 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1065816#comment-1892005i say give the replacements a shot.women included.the quality of officiating seems to have gone downhill the last few years anyway (though granted it is a tough job).who knows,just maybe some of the replacements could be more than adequate and even better than some already doing the job.

I wish her the best.

Sun, 22 Jul 2012 18:29:57 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1065816#comment-1891666The only concern with a female ref would be, that amazing moment we all enjoy when a ref gets light up.

But if these withered dinosaurs that currently ref can take the hit, a woman born this side of the civil war should be just fine.
